Mom was born August 12, 1915 in Somerville, MA in a house built in 1897; her Birth Certificate lists the address as 29 Burnside Ave. I was able to find the best pho of the house on Trulia; Google Earth did not have the image @100%. The attending MD was Dr. W. A. Putnam. Her birth certificate lists her name as Marjorie but she started signing her name Margery later. I am not sure of the exact date of her signature change, but her wedding license shows Margery.

The rest of the house's data below shows it was multifamily and now valued at $694K. We know her father, Harold Butler, had a motorcycle with a wicker sidecar when mom's sister Eleanor was born as there was a photo of it. I suspect he still had the motorcycle in 1915.

Margery Butler Parker, 90th Birthday, Houston, TX. She is holding Volume 1 of 9 Memory Books given to her by her 4 daughters. Friends from all over the US wrote letters of remembrance for them and sent phos we'd never seen before in some cases.

Mom died April 28, 2007, on my daughter's 40th birthday. Her Family Tree is shown in thumbnail here; full size is at my family tree page: /ancestry-charts--family-trees.html I will be adding more info to it.
